Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes.

- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Cook and shred the chicken breasts if they are not already cooked.
- Chop the fresh thyme and fresh parsley.
- In a large pot, add a small amount of oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine with the onions and garlic.

- Stir in the fresh thyme, dried oregano, and black pepper.

- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.
- Blend until you achieve a creamy consistency.
- Return the blended soup to the pot if you used a regular blender.
- Stir in the soy milk and continue to cook over low heat for another 5 minutes, ensuring the soup is heated through but not boiling.
- Stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
- Ladle the creamy chicken and sweet potato soup into bowls.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley if desired.
Tips:
- 1. For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken gravy instead of store-bought.
- 2. To make the soup even creamier, blend a portion of the soup before adding the shredded chicken back.
- 3. Feel free to substitute soy milk with any other milk or cream of your choice.
- 4. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicy kick.
- 5. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
